I started a compost pile a couple of years ago in a back corner of my yard. Never turned. Filled it pretty full. Then I basically forgot about it. Now I have two papaya trees growing nicely in the pile. :) Last spring I planted some of the seeds from a store-bought papaya in a grow bag just to see what would happen. I threw the remnants in the compost. Now, I have 8 papaya trees growing. The best ones are those growing in the compost pile.

Been in the garden today, just came in to see the video. I am in the process of putting together a compost area using pallets like you have there. I've been throwing everything in an old garbage bin on wheels and it gone from full to about 1/2 full, but I can't turn it very well. I decided to keep the bin by the back door for kitchen scrap convenience and ease to roll it to the garden. Can't wait for that black gold.

@k.p.1139 Год назад

I do this- sort of! I take all of my used dirt, in my grow bags and dump them into a pile. Start feeding it the garden waste, and kitchen scraps (NO meat) and the worms take over. I don't add worms either! One shows up, and it tells 2 friends, and before you know their whole family has moved in 😆😆I have 2 piles going that are 2 years old. One will be used this year in the garden. I go back and check where I put out scraps in a day or 2 and they are gone. Except for potato skins. The worms will not touch the store bought tater skins! So, when I sift and if they are still there- they are going into the trash!

I have a 27 yr old leaf/junk pile that has black gold underneath but there are so many big tree roots going thru it i can't get a shovel or rake in far enough to get it out. So I started a smaller pile in a different area. Idk about all the greens/browns. I just dump leaves, occ grass and kitchen scraps on it. Hopefully it'll turn to gold.

This fall I am going huge with my leaf pile (diameter-wise) to see if I can over-winter a bin of red wigglers outdoors in the center. My leaf cages are usually 4 ft wide by however long the bed is by 6-8 in deep. I am going at least 10 ft diam & 4+ ft high in one section using rolled wire fencing & T posts & will place the worm bin in the very center (after it cools to 80-85 degrees.) I'll drill holes in a large plastic tub or make a peg board box & place a plastic tarp above the top to keep a heavy rain or snow event from drowning the bin. Saw a vid by a guy who does this. His worms do OK & they mine/work the big leaf pile for him over the winter.

Gary, thank you for your videos, I have learned so much. I am going to set up a bin for leaf mold and cold compost and I'm wondering if I can throw in all the potting soil i used in my large pots/bins this past summer. I'm currently trying to clean my yard up and I don't know what to do with all the soil so currently it'll all in a pile in the back yard. Do you have suggestions for me?

A simple question, because we have chickens and goats and they will basically eat anything. So should we opt to going to cool composting with leaves as well as dead plants from the garden. Will the old dead tomato vines compost good? Also some weeds in there will this form of composting kill the possible seeds? Thank You and we do enjoy your channel!

@THERUSTEDGARDEN Год назад

Leaves are fine to mix in for sure. Any organic matter. Tomatoes or any old vegetables work. The chicken bedding will work. Okra and sunflower stems are kinda of tough but otherwise anything. Cold composting wont kill weed seeds but hot composting does. Any weeds are really ease to manage though. I hardly notice them.

@Gary Pilarchik (The Rusted Garden) You say to add ALL garden waste. I'm assuming that excludes diseased foliage? I know powdery mildew (and probably a few others) will break down and die in a compost pile, but anthracnose will only in a hot compost pile. Comments, please? B/c I'd sure be able to compost a lot more if I could compost diseased plants. 🙄

@THERUSTEDGARDEN Год назад

Well toss it if. you are feel there is a risk. I compost diseased plants only because the diseases showed up and and show up with or without compost I make.

I'm doing a lot better with spraying this yr, and hoping it helps.

My concern is that due to lack of heat, my compost will have more disease that can get onto my plants, and seeds that may have survived and will germinate. Have you noticed any of these issues? Thanks

@THERUSTEDGARDEN Год назад

You will get seeds often but they are really easily removed and when they sprout. After 2 years I dont get much weeds out of the stuff on the bottom. If you use stuff that didnt fully break down, stuff on top, there is risk of more weeds I suppose.

Question about starting a hot composting pile. I never seem to have enough material all at once to build a 4 X 4 foot pile. Any suggestions? I have a lot of wood chips and old hay, but the greens are an issue. We don't save lawn clippings (ours is a wild-ish yard and when we mow we just let it compost back on the lawn). Ideas on amassing 4 feet of material all at once? Also once built, do you continue to add to it or just let it sit?

@THERUSTEDGARDEN Год назад

You can use alfalfa pellets from seed stores but you have to buy it. The best greens is the lawn. Maybe just one or two times. You just need a lot of greens so it can be hard if you are trying to do it with out buying it. But AA is much cheaper than buying compost. I think I have a video on it if you look up wood pellets and alfalfa.
